This time, Lauren Petrella's trip to a PIAA tennis tournament will be as a player.

Petrella attended previous state meets at the Hershey Racquet Club to watch older brother Richard compete for Fairview's boys team. She went on to play for the Fairview girls before transferring to Mercyhurst Prep this season.

The move paid off for the junior, who won the District 10 Class AA singles title Monday afternoon at Pennbriar Athletic Club. A year after losing that final as a Tiger, she overcame that hurdle with a 6-2, 6-1 victory against new Mercyhurst teammate Caitlyn Schultz.

The PIAA singles tournament will take place Nov. 1-2. While Petrella heads to Hershey for the first time as a player, Adrianna Jeffress will walk onto its courts for the fourth and final time.

Jeffress became a rare four-time district titlist with her 6-0, 6-1 sweep of McDowell's Lauren Fadden in the Class AAA final. It was the start of a melancholy week for the senior, as the Trojans' appearance in Thursday's district team tournament at Pennbriar will be her last there as a scholastic player.
